Chapter Seventeen

Lou’s delight at having an entire weekend with no kids and no Jack lasted about fifteen seconds. Then it took all of her willpower not to run after Emma, TJ, and the chaperone the show had sent through airport security and jump on the plane with them.

If this was her test run, to see how she’d do after the show was over and she was alone, so far she was failing.

She called Kelly as she wandered back to the parking garage, but the twins had a soccer game, so a girls’ day was out. She scrolled through the numbers on her cell, jarred by the realization that every other number in there was a PTA pal or car-pool contact. They were friends through their kids. And all of them would be spending the weekends with their families. Which was exactly what Lou always did. Which was why she didn’t know a single, solitary person who had their Saturdays free.

She couldn’t just wave her magic wand and go back to being a single girl with a single girl’s social life. Not that she’d ever thought it would be like that. She just hadn’t considered that this would involve building an entirely new social circle from the ground up.

Lou climbed into the Focus and drummed her fingers on the steering wheel. What to do?

Her first instinct was to get the laundry done without the assistance of her two pyrotechnicians, and then go to the grocery without extra hands helping her fill the cart. Just another wild and fabulous weekend for the newly single girl. Or rather, the always single girl who suddenly had to act single.

Maybe she’d go out tonight. She’d never been the pick-up bar kind of girl, but where else was she supposed to meet someone who could make her forget about Jack? As if anyone could.

Just the thought of sitting in a dark bar by herself, awkwardly trying to come up with witty conversation with some stranger made her shudder.

Okay, maybe not a bar. A movie. She could go to the movies by herself. She could see something that wasn’t animated. Something with lots of swearing and violence and sex, and she wouldn’t even have to wait until after the kids were in bed and keep the sound down low. Heck, she could go to an R rated matinee.

Lou drove to the movie theatre by their house, feeling like a complete loser for being so excited by the idea of going to the movies. By herself. In the middle of a Saturday afternoon.

Especially when she could be in California, lazing by a pool with a man objectively declared to be perfect and the two children she already missed.

Lou stood in the lobby and stared up at the marquis, but it seemed like beside every title there was a reason not to go. Wouldn’t it be great to take the kids to that one? Or that is so Jack’s kind of movie. And sitting next to Kelly would make that one so much funnier.
